How I Love You

by s. du jour

A series of Twilight drabbles that revolve around the theme of the unhealthy relationship between Edward and Bella. Some are canon-based, some not. I completely creeped myself out by writing this, and so am not doing any more of these.

1. Watch Her Sleeping

(101 words.)

I shouldn't be here. I don't belong in her world.

She looks so innocent as she sleeps. A mere child. She moans, turns over. Watching her, I become human again.

Just for an instant, but it's long enough. And the moment changes me.

This girl is a gift to me, and now I need her, need her desperately. She'll have to be mine, no matter what happens. I couldn't stand it any other way.

Perhaps this is what love feels like—what I feel now is all-consuming, over-powering; jealous and heady, even to a vampire with a heart of cold stone.
